Madonna leaps to Adele's defence

MADONNA has sprung to the defence of singer Adele after she was labeled "too fat" by Karl Lagerfeld.
The queen of pop told The Sun in an interview yesterday that the fashion icon's comments were "horrible" and "ridiculous".
The eccentric Chanel designer claimed last month that Adele was "a little too fat" when he guest-edited a French magazine.
But Madonna, 53, stuck up for the Grammy-winner, hitting back, "That's horrible. That's ridiculous, that's just the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
"I don't like it when anybody says anything bad about anyone - I don't like it. Adele's a great talent and how much she weighs has nothing to do with it."
Madonna, who won seven Grammys and two Brit awards, explained how she sustained a career in music spanning more than a quarter of a century - and said it is decent advice for Adele, 23, to stay on the right track.
She said, "The thing for Adele to remember is at the end of the day, whether you rise or fall, it has so much to do with how you sustain yourself and keep your integrity and your inner strength.
"It is all about who you surround yourself with - friends and people who really do care about you, and care about your well-being beyond being a superstar. That's the most important thing."
The Material Girl also spoke about the deaths of two of the brightest female solo stars in the past six months.
Amy Winehouse died last July aged just 27 after suffering a public battle with drugs and alcohol.
Then last month Whitney Houston was found dead in her hotel bath in the Beverly Hilton in LA. She was 48.
Madonna said, "I, probably like everybody else, was hit by this shocking sense of disbelief - especially with Whitney Houston.
"It had not been a secret, the struggles Amy had been through - both brilliant, brilliant artists and obviously both huge losses.
"But when these things happen, I'm always shocked by the first thing you say - 'It's such a loss' - which doesn't quite cover it.
"We've lost so many great artists that way when you think about it. So history just kind of repeats itself over and over."

Madonna Started Filming The "Bedtime Story" Video on December 5 1994.

The inspiration behind the video. Hello everyone! This month’s music video to be analyzed is the for “Bedtime Story”, While this video is tricky for its various sources of inspiration, it’s one of her best, if not  the   best, and an underrated one by most fans. I am sure that, after reading all of this, you’ll find yourself more in love with the true artist Madonna really is. Madonna called upon “Rain” director Mark Romanek to do the music video for “Bedtime Story” after she saw what he had done with Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer”. As she always does, she listened to the song over and over again, trying to think of a concept for a video. The theme she held on to for this one was dreams, it’s meaning, concepts, imagery and works based on it. She’s a huge fan of surrealistic art, in which lots of paintings deal about dreaming, or allude to something unfathomable in real life. She held to that and brought that concept to Romanek, that really liked the idea and wanted to add ...

Rolling Stone - June 13, 1991 - Flesh and Fantasy - Big Time Girl Talk with Carrie Fisher

Madonna and I had met many times over the years, but we had never actually had a conversation. It took this interview to bring us together – she as icon, I as inquisitor of icon [after all, I have already distinguished myself as friend of icon, relative of icon and ex-wife of icon]. I had never done an interview before, and I don’t know that I will again. For me, this has all the makings of a waterloo. The first of the two sessions for this interview took place in the restaurant of the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles. Madonna wore gold lame; I probably wore black. The last session took place in the offices of her manager, Freddy DeMann. Madonna wore a negligee; I probably wore black. I was late for that first meeting because a friend who had AIDS and who was staying with me had suddenly developed a fever. I called Madonna to say I was on my way. “You’re late,” she informed me. I explained about my friend. “Well, okay, that’s a good excuse,” she said. By the time of our fina...
